More than two thirds said they knew that their MOT had expired, while a third said it was a ­genuine oversight.

Men were found to be  marginally more likely than women  to not have a valid MOT certificate.

And twice as many drivers  aged 18 to 34  flouted the law as those aged  35 to 54.

Just one in 100 over-55s said they had done it.
